Yep tried that but no go.. i have tested this on my desktops which work fine (HP range) Any Ideas?

Hi, I have a DL360 G5 HP server this uses the NC375I Multi nic function card. I have added the driver to my winpe 2 image by using the PEIMG /INF=LOCATION etc When I boot into winpe and type ipconfig /all i do not get any address info. I have a DHCP scope running giving out ips etc. I have tried... netcfg -winpe I have also tried to set a static ip address. Is there there something I am missing? has anyone used winpe 2 on HP kit yet?

I thought I would write my success here as I always get really anoyed when people say I fix it! and never say how. Anyways you have to create your winpe iso in the Bdd config.hta and then copy this over to your SMS MP and then update the SMS Winpe using the one created in bdd as the source this will enable you to have WMI,SQL and Scripting support. This is a very good solution for us as we Have 12000 or so different desktops. I no longer need to worry I have even catered for Laptops and servers, makes me laugh I save the company 70k in lic's Looking forward to the BDD 2007 and SMS V4 (SMS V4 can do deltas within the WIM image)

Are you saying you would like winpe 2, imagex,diskpart and the imagex of Windows 2003/xp on one CD? I currently in the process of doing this but I am also adding HP\Dell config tools for servers. I have actually had a bit of success but I am still learning. I booted winpe 2.0 into ram by my usb pen drive and then inserted my CD with my image on easy.

Hi I have started to read up on winpe 2.0 so its all a bit new.. I would like to create a winpe 2.0 dvd with my syspreped WIM image of a windows 2003 R2 box on the dvd. I want to include the HP scripting toolkit to set up my raid card drives and bios settings etc.. As anyone done this yet? Is it as easy as just booting to pe and then kick off imagex to load my two wim files (I have two mirrored drives)? All do I need to do more? I am trying to read up as much as possiable so sorry if you think this is a lame question

Sounds like a Mass storage device Driver problem. More info required.

Hello, go to download.com and look for reg tools like Regshot. take a shot of your registry and then make your changes and take another "snapshot" this will out put to a file which then you can go to the registry and find the keys that do the "thing" you want. you can then test this by changing the registry keys manualy. There are lots of ways to install these "tweaks" batch, run once, command lines etc search the forum for your prefered method. Search the forums I know it takes awhile but all the info is there and you will learn along the way

You are most correct I was menat to reply to myself but I am been ill. Anyhows.. SMS2003 OSD FP creates 0.9 Version WIM Files which you cant do anything with except deploy. There is an update which updates the WIM image to version 1.0 which is the same version in Vista and the WAIK. This is all set up now and it rocks my image is 380 mb ! I boot WINPE 1.5 into RAM on the target machine, do my drives and asset management stuff. then pull my WIM image down and what ever I set in my customsettings.ini file I can do anything... Currently Doing MAC query for the name and WMI Query for the HAL and drivers the ZTI script updates everything on the fly within my sysprep. I got 300 sites, 12,000 desktops and this rocks looking forward to the BDD2007 RTM. If anyone needs any guidance or help on the BDD 2.5 I be only to pleased to help! seen I prob asked every question about it now. I am using SMS 2003 but you could easily use the lite touch with WIM and WINPE to get what you want. Life is so sweet now this is working.

Just tried the latest WAIK and that will not mount this WIM. I am using Version one of the WAIK and Version 6 something for imagex.exe. Shame I cant mount my WIM :-(

Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong place but here goes.. I have set up BDD 2.5 with SMS 2003 OSD FP and all is running fine.. I can update my base WIM image made by SMS Capture wizard with drivers, Hal, software etc. I want to see how small I can get the the WIM image. I made a new build using the SMS capture wizard after a sysprep and the file is 460mb WIM image. I want to verify that temp files are deleted and that the hiber.sys and pagefile.sys have been deleted so I tried to mount the WIM Image with imagex.exe /mount c:\xp.wim however I get the error data of this type is not supported. Has anyone had this error before? and what version if any do I need to mount a WIM image created by SMS 2003 OSD? (I have searched for imagex on my sms server so it must be wrapped up in a exe somewhere)

You are correct it was an OU and not CN Many thanks for the reply! are you using SMS OSD FP and BDD?

I am a bit confused which is not hard. I have SMS 2003 installed and configured. I have the BDD 2.5 Enterprise installed also. I have made a wim image by creating a new sysprep build with build.hta in the winpelad.iso cd and used the sms capture wizard to capture the sysprep build back to an image share as a wim file. I ahve also installed the admindb and created my various sql query's procedure calls. I have run thro the sms state phase's with sms to include the additional files I need for ZTI.vbs Now I need to create a winpe image to place on my ris server so that I can pxe boot from then do some sql querys for MAC, Name etc I then need to load my wim image and update it on fly for Drivers, Hal and Name etc. to build and join my computer to the domain. Now for my question.... How do I create my winpe image what kicks off the wim image install within sms 2003? I see that in the config.hta on the bdd is the following........... Build Lab winpe Build deploy winpe (Lite Touch Only) Build Generic winpe. There is also a winpe iso within the SMS but it does not include WMI. Does anyone know how winpe from startnet.cmd calls the neccs files required to do querys depending on the custom.ini file and load the wim image?

Ok finally solved this. You can not specify the ou=computers in the sysprep where it says makemachineobject= x x x x As the computers Folder is a container and not an OU if you click join domain later it will work as the default is computers. I will slap myself with a wet fish!

Has anyone done a join domain by sysprep that worked?

I think its in all users I will check when I am next in work has I had to do this. Also it enables system restore annoying if you turned it off. I used a WMI call to turn it off.

Hi many thanks for that! however I wanted to do this in a MSI editor which I have now done. I extracted the .exe file and then edited the MSI with Wise Studio I added AcceptEULA=1 and ASSOCIATE=1 to the property table. I did have to rem out the command to run eula check (I did a search for this) but this works great now! Now I have three ways I can install this app Modifed MSI. MST. Command Line.

Ok I would like to make a silent install of Visio Viewer 2003 I know that I can do the following.. vviewer.exe /q /c:"msiexec.exe /i vviewer.msi /qb-! ACCEPTEULA=1 ASSOCIATE=1" However I would like to do the same thing and just edit the MSI File with ORCA or wise studio. I have extracted the exe and have 5 files from that Setup.exe Setup.ini ose.exe vveiwer.xml vveiwer.msi Can I just use the MSI File? Also where do I add the ACCEPTEULA=1 ASSOCIATE=1 to the MSI? Please bear in mind that I have just started using ORCA and Wise.

Well what would you like to do??? Just set an unattended 16bit winnt.exe install from a network install using a boot disk/usb boot/PXE? Or do you require RIS? this can build a PC (16bit mode) or deploy an image (16bit/32bit mode) or deploy winpe/bartpe to the target machine? All the info is on this forum and some members have done great things with the above methods Start with the unattended guide then read the RIS posts. Unfortantly you need to know about domains, accounts, sysprep, drivers, unattend.txt etc etc.. We all got to start somewhere so let us know excalty what you need and I am sure someone will help and you be up and running in no time.

Hi, Is anyone using the BDD 2.5 Enterprise? I have set this up and I can auto build a lab PC (Windows xp sp2) that has been syspreped. However when it restarts I can not join the domain its just errors out and then starts into windows if I join manually in Windows It works. I have done a shift and f10 when I get the error in mini setup and I am getting a IP and can ping the domain (But I cant ping the PC from the domain unless I turn the Firewall off) I have to create a lab build without the firewall to see if this is a problem. All my GPO have been set up and verified. The scripts in the BDD are very good by the way! a little modifying and I will be able to deploy a wim file from SMS by using WinPE via RIS. and I will not have to worry about the HAL and mass storage devices,. I will start to use the ZTI vbs scripts if I ever get it just to join the domain. I have also checked my settings in the sysprep for joining the domain. If your in the UK and are using the BDD SMS 2003 OSD FP I will be very keen to ask you a few questions!

Hi, I have a HP 6 PORT SATA RAID Card (Adaptec) I really want to configure this in a winpe enviroment and then kick off a winnt32 setup. The ML310 G2 is fitted with 4x 250 SATA Drives, I would like them to have RAID 5 STRIP accross all four drives. I know the driver to load for the RAID card but what file controls the RAID level can this be done by diskpart? If anyone has any input on this it would be great!

Seen its past Monday are you still working on this or looking for another job? Any way i had the same sort of problem with HP Kit I eventually gave up on the HP Drivers and went striaght to ATI and used their display driver only which supports ...... Radeon® X1900 series Radeon® X1800 series Radeon® X1600 series Radeon® X1300 series Radeon® X850 series Radeon® X800 series Radeon® X700 series Radeon® X600 series Radeon® X550 series Radeon® X300 series Radeon® 9800 series Radeon® 9700 series Radeon® 9600 series Radeon® 9650 series Radeon® 9550 series Radeon® 9500 series cards I now works great for me! I did the same for chipsets as well Sometimes it pays to use the orignal manufacturers drivers as they tend to write drivers for mutiple products. Maybe you should check out bas's driverpacks

Well I know with HP there are two lots of driver folders on their smartstart disks ie compaq\drivers\w2k compaq\drivers\wnet I know that in the wnet folder it refers to some entries for win 2000 but these are different drivers in the w2k folder. By the way do Dell supply a tool to confiquire the dell perc raid card in a winpe environment?

bad boy jumping on a thread! any ways you can rename the NIC card with a vbscript and WMI using "Win32_NetworkAdapter" [Networking] Supports the same settings as unattend.txt Sample This sample demonstrates one use of the [MS_TCPIP parameters] section of Unattend.txt or sysprep.inf [MS_TCPIP parameters] DeadGWDetectDefault = No DNSDomain = fabrikam.com DNSSuffixSearchOrder = server1.fabrikam.com, fabrikam.com DontAddDefaultGatewayDefault = No EnableICMPRedirect = No EnableLMHosts = Yes EnableSecurity = No ScopeID = REDMOND SyncDomainWithMembership = 1 UseDomainNameDevolution = No [params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter01] SpecificTo = Adapter01 DisableDynamicUpdate = No EnableAdapterDomainNameRegistration = No DefaultGateway = 193.1.1.1 DHCP = Yes DHCPClassId = abc DNSDomain = fabrikam.com DNSServerSearchOrder = server1.fabrikam.com, fabrikam.com IPAddress = 193.1.1.33,193.1.1.34 NetBIOSOptions = 1 SubnetMask = 193.1.1.255 WINS = Yes WINSServerList = 193.1.1.95,193.1.1.97 amazing what you can find in the ref.chm file in the deploy.cab on your xp cd in the tools folder!! link to tools download M$ XP DEPLOY TOOLS

Hi I am installing windows 2003 R2 from a network share using winpe and winnt32 at the moment it installs fines and on first boot it requires the 2nd CD for windows 2003 to finish installing however I want it install from the network Can you just copy CD two into the network share folder? what is the best way? Regards

I take it your using sysprep after your install then do not enter the computername this will prompt for you to enter the computer name and then it will join the domain. Are you using a batch file to join the domain?
